In episode #6, we're changing it up a bit and giving you the first of a new "accidental" series called ROTR Reacts. The "too much grief, and no joy" article has recently made the rounds in several expat/travel/"living in France" groups and we knew we had to give our two cents. There are many points in the article which of course resulted in a feisty episode for you to enjoy. If you missed the article, check it out here because we'd love to hear your thoughts. You'll want to grab your favorite beverage and settle in for this read and also find out why the real estate situation has got Alexis a bit ranty in What's on the Rocks? this week.

In episode #5, we've got our first guest feature - Ms. Dailahn James. That's right, Alexis' mom is in town and we knew we had to get her on the pod to share her "Coming to France" story. She talks about what prompted her move, what it was like moving with a kid and some of the bumps in the road she experienced moving back in the 80s. So take a listen to find out how some things haven't changed, even after 30+ years and what Carley's showing gratitude for in "What's on the Rocks?", this week.

In episode #7, we're talking about some of the important activities you need to live well abroad - where you put your money, how you manage that money and of course - finding a place to live. These may seem like basic activities but be prepared to think differently about how you approach these things. From the limitations of opening multiple accounts (e.g, savings, brokerage or retirement etc.) to building your dossier to secure an apartment you still could be denied for. These are important things that can positively or negatively impact your experience living abroad, if you don't do your due diligence. So take a listen to learn what you can expect and hear about Carley's first experience with expat privilege.
